Yay for another November 4th sleever! I'm from Nebraska. You?

I'm using a countdown app too. Mine was free on iPhone. It's called T zero. November 4th can't get here soon enough

I've had the headaches too. Tylenol has helped. Are you allowed food on your preop diet? Or just liquids?

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I needed to hear right now. Pre-op diet is going ok. Since I've started all this (about two months ago), I'm down 35lbs from 330 to 295. Hoping the preop diet will shed that down a few more before surgery. I, too, have PCOS. not fun. Best wishes to you and thanks again

My surgery is on 11/4. This is day four (of fourteen) of pre-op diet. My doc allows me two shakes a day and a sensible meal all to stay under 1000 calories. It's RIDICULOUSLY difficult for me. Strangely enough, exercise helps keep my mind off it. I see people eating food and my mind just goes into "wanting that" mode. Even stuff I don't like! But, this is just temporary and I remind myself that it's a mental game and I CAN WIN. I'll get to eat the foods I love again, it just may be awhile. (I miss you, cheese). If anybody wants to buddy up on this preop diet, let me know. There's no such thing as too much support for me. Also, to the person who was asking about yummy protein shakes, I buy Trutein. It's s little pricey (and only online) but it's so good. I recommend the pb chocolate cup, banana, and lemon meringue. Their plain chocolate and vanilla are yummy too. Best tasting shake I've ever had (and I tried a lot!)

I'm in Lincoln. How are you doing? Right now i wish I was 11 months post op

November 4th in Nebraska. Nervous (and excited) as can be.

Hi all! Just been reading everybody's experiences. I'm in Lincoln and going to Dr. Hung. I've done all the preop, just waiting on insurance verification. (Yippee). I'm pretty nervous about surgery and complications but know I need to lose weight! I'll be going to St e's. What have your experiences been? Anyone going to preop class in October?
